Firefox required for latest F8 updates

I've loaded Remi's Firefox 3 RPMs on a F8 system, so I have the
following packages:

        xulrunner-devel-1.9-1.fc8.remi.x86_64
        xulrunner-1.9-1.fc8.remi.x86_64
        firefox-3.0-1.fc8.remi.x86_64
        firefox2-2.0.0.14-1.fc8.remi.x86_64

For some reason, the latest F8 update wants to pull in Firefox 2 i386
package from F8 updates:

        Updating:
         cups-pdf                x86_64     2.4.8-1.fc8      updates            59 k
         devhelp                 x86_64     0.16.1-8.fc8     updates           199 k

        Installing for dependencies:
         firefox                 i386       2.0.0.15-1.fc8   updates            21 M

Note that the i386 package is pulled in even though all of the updates
are x86_64 or noarch.  Remi's i386 packages don't play nicely with his
x86_64 packages, though, so I can't install both.

Which package is pulling the F8 Firefox?  Any suggestions for a
solution?

TIA.
